Hey there! This week, we're talking all about buttons 🔘 Notion just rolled out some exciting updates to their button feature, and we're here to give you the lowdown.
Getting a button up and running in Notion is a breeze. Head over to the page where you want the button and type "/button" — Voila!
As you scroll down from the button, you’ll discover a world of possibilities when you click on it.
- Incorporate step-by-step guidance for users to follow through a series of actions.
- Add various blocks: Callouts, quotes, headings, dividers, images, videos, embeds, and more.
- Include pages in a database: Add pages to a selected database.
- Edit pages within a database: Make edits to pages in the selected database.
- Prompt confirmation: Provide users with a small confirmation screen when they click the button.

In a recent update this week, Notion addressed the most sought-after request following the introduction of buttons: the ability to apply templates.
Imagine placing a report button on your operations or development department dashboard. When clicked, this button automatically applies a specific template in a database dedicated to reporting issues or offering feedback.
Here are a few other use cases on how you can implement buttons
Meetings: use buttons to seamlessly integrate a meeting agenda template into any page, ensuring a structured approach to your meetings.
Task coordination: use buttons to add new tasks to your task database, complete with predetermined attributes for streamlined task management.
Sales streamlining: use buttons to inject new sales opportunities into your sales database, streamlining the process of tracking potential sales and leads.
